Explanation:

The Greek myth of "Hektor and Achilleus" revolves around the Battle of Troy where Hektor, the prince of Troy and Achilles, a Greek warrior had been fighting each other. The main background of the whole story line is based off "The Illiad" by Homer.

In the Battle of Troy, Paris had taken Helen, the wife of Menelaus, a Greek King of the Spartan kingdom. Though she went voluntarily to be with Paris, it led to the now famous "Battle of Troy". The quote in the question is said by Hektor, and reveals his belief in the gods. He holds a sense of honor for the dead, and promises Achilles he won't defile his body should he die. But Achilles did not have the same sense of respect, which sets him apart from Hektor. Hektor, on the other hand, have a more responsible and respect for the gods and their ways. Preserving and upholding the code of honor, he shows his chivalry and rightful behavior, unlike Achilles who is consumed by anger and just wants revenge.
